SPONSOR:

We rescue pianos and put them on the street for everybody to enjoy. We want to give pianists more opportunities to play for the public.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Reflection. It’s about looking within ourselves to see something we haven’t encountered before. That’s our approach with this beautiful structure of wood and ivory. We used mirrors to showcase what we don’t normally see. This opens the piece up to become larger than itself with the incorporation of the elements surrounding it, whether it’s the player, the audience, or the environment it’s situated in. Each person will have their own unique experience to share.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Lucid designs compelling logos, brand identity, packaging design, print collateral, product design and websites. We've applied our decades of experience to establish a small, efficient and effective studio that provides high calibre graphic, package, and product design at competitive prices. Amazing results are what drive us, and we love to journey side by side with our clients to bridge the gap between creativity and strategic business outcomes.
